Chrysiptera parasema is a popular fish in the saltwater aquarium hobby. Because of its usually low price it is often recommended as a way for novice marine aquarium keepers to gain experience.

The Pseudomugilidae, the blue-eyes, are a subfamily of atheriniform fish in the rainbowfish family Melanotaeniidae. [1] They inhabit fresh and brackish water in Australia, New Guinea and nearby smaller islands. [2] Blue-eyes are small fish, typically no more than 5 cm (2.0 in) in length.
These fish are typically 4 to 10 inches (10 to 25 centimetres) long, but can grow to over one foot (30 cm) in length, and reach 2.25 pounds (1.02 kg). [4] The warmouth is occasionally confused with the rock bass ( Ambloplites rupestris ) or green sunfish ( Lepomis cyanellus ), both of which share its relatively large mouth and heavy body.
The Pacific blue-eye generally reaches a total length of around 3–3.5 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 8 – 1 + 3 ⁄ 8 in) long; males can reach 8.8 cm (3 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) and females 6.3 cm (2 + 1 ⁄ 2 in). [4] The size of Pacific blue-eyes found north of the Burdekin Gap increases directly with distance from the gap, males and females being the same size.
